Toldi II
The Toldi II tank, called the 42M Toldi II officially, was a light tank in service in the Hungarian Royal Army and a unit availble in Flames of War.
IRL
The Toldi originated in the 1930s from a desire in the Hungarian army to have a modern light tank for their army. The 38M was the first vehicle, armed with the same 20mm autocannon. The improved version that is available differed from the first variant by simply having more armor, but not much else.
During Barbarossa, the Toldi II was used primarily for recon, due to it being completely outmatched by anything that the Soviets could bring. Some 42Ms were modified with 40mm guns in the field, and there was a prototype that would use a Pak 40 in an open casemate, but these were vain attempts to improve the performance that never came to fruition.
